After meeting Clyde Barrow in 1930, Bonnie Parker entered a world of crime. Robbing banks and small businesses with Clyde, she became one of America's most famous outlaws of the '30s. The couple's 21-month crime spree spanned Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Missouri, where they killed at least 13 people and escaped from police. Bonnie and Clyde were killed at a roadblock near Gibsland, Louisiana, on May 23.

Early Life

Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas, to Henry and Emma Parker. She had an older brother and a younger sister. When she was just 4 years old, Parker's father died. Subsequently, her mother moved the family to a suburb of Dallas known as Cement City.Bonnie Parker married Roy Thornton when she was 16. In January 1929 Roy returned from one of his many absences, and Bonnie
refused to take him back. Roy joined a robbery and went to prison for five years. Bonnie told her mother that the reason she never divorced him was that it would be unfair to divorce him while he was in prison.

Bonnie worked for a while as a waitress, but the restaurant was a casualty of the Great Depression. She then did housework for a neighbor, who was visited by a boyfriend, Clyde Barrow. Clyde Barrow was also from a rural struggling background; his parents were tenant farmers in Texas.

Soon, Barrow was paying more attention to Bonnie Parker than to her employer. Not long after that, he was sentenced to prison for two years for robbing a grocery store in Waco. Bonnie Parker wrote letters to him and visited, and on a visit he disclosed an escape plan which required that she bring him a gun. She smuggled a pistol in on her next visit, and Clyde and a friend escaped. He was back in prison for two more years when he was captured, and then got out on parole in February 1932.

First Meeting
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow—now known as the infamous crime duo Bonnie and Clyde—first met in January 1930, when Bonnie was 19 years old and working as a waitress. Barrow, 20 years old at the time, was a volatile ex-con who vowed he would never go back to prison. Not long after meeting Bonnie, however, Clyde was convicted of five counts of auto theft and was sentenced to two years in prison (he received a 12-year suspended sentence for two burglaries).

Once back in prison, Clyde's thoughts immediately turned to escape. By this time, he and Bonnie had fallen deeply in love, and Clyde was overtaken by heartache. Sharing his sentiments, a lovesick Bonnie was more than willing to help the man she called her soulmate.

After serving 20 months in prison, Clyde was released in 1932. Not long after, he and Bonnie, fueled by passionate love, the desire to escape poverty and utter contempt for authority, embarked on a 21-month crime spree, robbing banks and small businesses, pulling a string of armed robberies and leaving a bloody train of murder victims in their wake. Their criminal activity spanned Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Missouri, where they killed at least 13 people and escaped from several police ambushes.

All the while, hundreds of law enforcement personnel from five southwestern states hotly pursued Bonnie and Clyde. Yet the infamous couple managed to illude authorities and avoid capture for nearly two years, becoming two of America's most famous outlaws.

Death and Legacy

Bonnie and Clyde were both killed at a roadblock near Gibsland, Louisiana, taken out by police in the hail of bullets, on May 23, 1934. Since their death, Bonnie and Clyde have been romanticized by the public, and their sensational story of crime and passion has seen numerous retellings—solidifying the criminals as American legend.
